Andrea Marini is a physicist, PhD, senior researcher at the ISM Institute of the CNR, Monterotondo Research Area. Author of many publications in international scientific journals, he is responsible for numerous international research projects in the field of theoretical physics and materials science and technology.
His career, production and future prospects are positioned largely on this very border between theoretical and computational physics. An environment that, thanks to the applicative component, is intrinsically interdisciplinary and where chemistry, biology and physics mix with rigorous mathematical methods.
His research is based on the knowledge of theoretical solid state physics, as well as programming languages (from Fortran to Python) and technological knowledge related to the development of high-performance hardware.
His scientific and coordination skills have therefore allowed him to obtain several fundings and to have a concrete impact on theoretical-computational solid state physics both with works that have opened new research frontiers and with the development of innovative calculation tools that merged, in 2009, into the open-source project ab-initio Yambo project, founded by A. Marini in 2009, who is currently the head Coordinator.
Starting from 2010 A. Marini has started working in the field of out–of–the–equilibrium phenomena from an ab–initio perspective. The goal is to devise a novel approach (Ai–NEGF) based on the merging of Non–Equilbrium Green’s Function theory (NEGF) with Density–Functional Theory (DFT).
A. Marini has taken part in several European and National projects founded by the Ikerbasque foundation, the Italian Minister for Reserach and the H2020/Horizon European programs. At the moment, besides MaX and NFFA, he is also coordinator of a National project (PRIN) devoted to the Physics of High–Harmonics in Pump&probe experiments.
A. Marini is presently at the head of the Division of Ultrafast Processes in Materials (FLASHit) of the CNR-ISM. FLASHit is part of the Laboratory of Materials Modeling of the Institute for Material science of the National Research Council in Italy. He is also part of the National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing, member of the International Advisory Panel of the African School on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications network and he is currently teaching Many–Body Theory at the East Africa Institute for Foundamental Research located in the University of Rwanda, Kigali.
